Diego,

>> I am trying to see what the 8 x 1.5tb drives are called and if they are recognized. 

>>I read that FreeBSD 8 has the driver for 3ware by default.

>>How to I add these drives? When I start the machine, I see the 8 drives listed during BIOS post, attached to >>the 3ware card. 

>Can you please paste your dmesg? Do you create an array on the 3ware? 

My dmesg shows the 3ware card installed (twa0)and shows ZFS running.

I have not created an array on the card because I want to do RAIDZ3 so wouldn't the card just ask as pass through? If I go into the card when the system boots, I see all of my drives, but I only have option for RAID 5, 10, 50.

Do you have more thoughts?

-Jason
